You and a friend both would like a salad and a small drink. Between the two of you, you have $8.00. A salad costs $2.49 and a small drink is $0.99. Can either of you have a second salad or a drink? Assume there is no sales tax.

A.) yes, one salad

B.) yes, one of each

C.) yes, one drink

D.) No, you cannot.

1 answer

D.) No, you cannot.

After purchasing one salad and one small drink, you would spend a total of $3.48 ($2.49 for the salad + $0.99 for the drink). Since you only have $8.00 between the two of you, there would not be enough money left to buy another salad or drink.
